COURTLAND HAYNES, OF HAWESVILLE, KENTUCKY.

SMOKE-BELL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Batent No. 724,006, dated March e1, 1902.

Application filed August 11, 1902. Serial No. 119,268. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, COURTLAND HAYNES, a citizen of the United States,residin g at Hawesville, in the county of Hancock and State of Kentucky,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Smoke-Bells; and I do doclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to smoke-bells, and particularly to bells used in connection with swinging lamps; and the object of the invention is to provide such a device which will effectually protect the ceiling from being smoked above the lamp.

Another object is to construct a smoke-bell in which the soot from the lamp will be collected and consumed.

A further object of the invention is to exclude from the lamp-chimneys insects and also prevent the flickering of the flame by sudden gusts of wind.

With the above and other objects in view, which will readily appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, said invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combination and arrangement of parts, which will be hereinafter fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation showing the application of my device. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of the same.

In the drawings, 1 denotes a lamp, and 2 the chimney thereof.

3 denotes the smoke-bell, which consists of a vertical tube or cylinder at, having an outwardly-flaring mouth and connected at its upper end with a horizontal tube 5, midway between the ends thereof.

The ends 6 of the tube 5 are inclined downwardly at an obtuse angle to the tube 5, forming discharge ends, which will direct the heat from the lamp downwardlyinto the room and away from the ceiling.

7 denotes a hook or loop for suspending the bell from the ceiling or other place of attachment.

In use the bell is suspended wherever desired, and the lamp being immediately below the same, with the chimney'projecting into the lower flaring end of the tube 4, prevents any of the heat or smoke from escaping from the chimney except through the said tube, the same passing from the tube 4 into the horizontal tube 5 and conducted in opposite directions to the discharge ends of the same, where it escapes and mixes with the atmos phere. The soot from the escaping smoke adheres to the walls of the tube 5, where it is consumed by the heat from the lamp.

An advantageous feature of this bell is that it may be suspended close to the'ceiling and the lamp placed immediately under the same, as the top draft to the lamp is supplied through the tubes of the bell. This high hanging of the lamp is convenient in rooms having low ceilings.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the. accompanying drawings,

it is thought that the construction and ad= .vantages of my improved smoke-bell will be to the upper end of said vertical tube andhaving its ends curved downwardly at an obtuse angle thereto, and a suspending device connected to the top of the single-piece horizontal tube at the center thereof and in line with said vertical tube, substantially as de scribed.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

COURTLAND HAYNES.
